In a tragic incident in Hyderabad, two workers lost their lives due to electrocution while removing a signboard at a commercial building in Habsiguda on Friday night.
The victims, identified as J. Balu (36) and G. Mallesh (25), were tasked with removing the signboard of a company. The incident occurred at the Varalaxmi Arcade building, where Tati Ravi was preparing to open an office on the third floor. The two workers were carrying out the job under his direction.
